Does anyone have any trouble transforming generations bumblebee?

i ALWAYS mess up somehow transforming him
the car sides arent as connected as they should be
i managed to transform it perfectly when i first got it
but the more i do it and attempt it, always fail
sometimes id get very close, but nope

Make sure when you fold up his arms his forearms stay pegged into the shoulder pieces. They like to come disconnected during transformation. Also it's easier to peg them into his shoulders before swinging the arms backwards. The vehicle mode pieces on his arms stay in place if his arms are pegged into the shoulders right. That was the main issue I was having at first. Hope this helps.

Yes, I have this problem. I only transformed him to alt mode once, but it took forever to get everything pegged correctly. I eventually did notice though that his arms need to be in the exact right position for everything to peg. There are some seemingly insignificant swivel joints near his shoulders I believe that need to be pointed inward (again, I believe, it was over a month ago). After I figured that out everything fit fine.

This he is incredibly fiddly in transformation , so much so he will not be transformed much same for WFC Prime who i find easier to transform than BB.

Yeah, funny enough I found WFC Optimus was in many ways more complex, but at the same time a much easier transformation.

The kibble collapses in a similar fashion to ROTF Skids and Mudflap, which were also fiddly and awkward. But parts of WFC BB just don't peg together as well as they should. It's really too bad, because it's a superb altmode. I don't like it having gaps.

Read this guys response. I had the same problem, til I figured this out now it works smooth as silk.

I already figured that bit out. It's still an awkward transformation, and the altmode doesn't fit together as tight as I'd like it too.

It was also a bit rough in that some plugs were a bit too big for the slot they went into. I trimmed them and it works a little better. Some joints have to be forced, others are far too loose. Smooth doesn't really come into it.

I will admit, Bumblebee has some crazy transforming issues. I don't know how they'd expect a child to be able to do it without breaking him... or maybe all it needs is the touch of a tiny soft hand?

Anyway, I found that if you do peg everything in correctly, get it all lined up and symmetrical, you can have a nearly gapless alt mode. The first time I transformed him I was frustrated seeing a big gap on his windshield and top, but I eventually figured it out. It takes a lot of time and isn't really that fun... But both modes are pretty sweet in my opinion.
